what's in your purse series

This is a simple messenger bag from GAP and I use it to go to my ballet classes.

Inside you can find a dancer’s essentials.
what's in your dance bag
  • -My ballet flats
  • -My almost dead pointe shoes
  • -Yellow box with Rosin powder in it, it stops the shoe from slipping.
  • -Little metal box with hairpins, bobby pins, hair nets, and hair bands in it.
  • Tape and more tape for my toes.
  • Liquid bandaje, for open blisters. It STINGS like hell.
  • Toe pads and any other type of pads that could protect my feet.
  • Scissors…I don’t really know whey are there.
  • Hair spray, a dancer’s must.
  • Baby powder, I put some in my toe pads after every class so they don’t get smelly.
  • Lip balm…I am a lip balm freak and I need to have lip balm with me ALWAYS.
  • A hairband.

I'm Allison, founder and editor of Petit Elefant. I run the gamut from granola to glamour and love everything in between. I think the beach is always a good idea, as is Diet Dr. Pepper; on ice. Sometimes I put out the fires and sometimes I start them. Sometimes I really do have it all together. Sometimes my children say otherwise. We just like to keep it real around here.

    Mu daughter just enrolled in ballet school so this is a great gift idea. I glimpsed a shopping deal on a similar dancer bag at http://www.jummpin.com
